The best way to treat cough? Cough itself is not an independent disease, but a defensive response to remove foreign bodies in the respiratory tract. Mild people are harmless to the body, and can be treated according to the cause, without using cough medicine. But when cough medicine brings pain to patients, it can be used as appropriate. There are many reasons for cough, such as acute and chronic inflammation of respiratory tract, foreign body in respiratory tract, respiratory tract compression, allergic reaction, pleural irritation and so on. Therefore, when you encounter a cough patient, you should first comprehensively analyze the condition, find out the cause, and choose the appropriate cough medicine on the basis of treating the cause, and treat the symptoms. Drugs for cough can be divided into three categories: antitussive drugs, expectorant drugs and antiasthmatic drugs. The antitussive drugs mainly include codeine, morphine, Kebiqing, Combefen and licorice mixture. These drugs have mild inflammation to the respiratory tract and produce good irritating dry cough, but some of these drugs must be applied under the guidance of a doctor. The expectorant drugs include Vitex negundo oil, ammonium chloride, potassium iodide, phlegm easy to clear, rhododendron manshurica, Xiaokening syrup and so on. This kind of medicine has a good effect on clearing away excessive phlegm and sticky phlegm in respiratory tract. Antiasthmatic drugs include ephedrine, salbutamol, aminophylline and vitamin k 1. Asthma is mostly caused by allergies or inflammation, which stimulates bronchial smooth muscle spasm. The pharmacological function of antiasthmatic drugs is mainly to relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, which is beneficial to sputum discharge, but drugs with small side effects and safety and reliability for children should be selected when using drugs.

As long as the baby's cough is not continuous, there is generally no big problem. Sometimes because she (she) drools too much, it may also lead to suffocation.

As for the child's hoarse voice, please check whether the room is dry, which may also lead to the child's poor breathing and something seems to be stuffed in his throat.

Cough is a symptom. The most important thing is to find out the cause of cough, such as upper respiratory tract infection or rhinitis, which itself causes a slight cough. But if he has pneumonia and cough, it is even more important, because if pneumonia itself is not treated, it will lead to severe respiratory distress, even respiratory failure, or sepsis. With bronchiolitis or asthma, children often inhale and can't spit it out, which will cause respiratory distress. If there is a foreign body blocking the respiratory tract, it will cause hypoxia and even brain damage. If left untreated, it will often cause complications or sequelae. Another neglected cause of cough is sinusitis. If the child has been coughing for several weeks or longer, it belongs to a child who just lies down or gets up in the morning and has a yellow nose. Clear your throat when coughing, with phlegm or bad breath in your throat.

Find the cause of cough and then treat it.
